i mean no $&!#e this threads gonna be locked too but why was the other one locked in the first place... without explanation. kinda weird. i ain't down with it.

I want an explanation. Nothing in that thread violated any rules.

Can someone actually tell me what barstool has done to be so triggering? I can literally only find the Roenick thing. Seem's pretty weak, even for cancel culture.

bet she would too

petey's low-key based

you coulda tagged me bro it's one clip. admittedly i havent watched him at all this season but what i saw out of him last season was a whole lotta brain farts in his own end. He gets lost sometimes. He gets turned around. He can be clunky going up against guys who know how to dance around him a bit. That was largely his issue when he first played with us and it's something i've yet to see him fix. So I stand by what I said. Edit: it's kinda funny how you're still salty over that lmao

much higher chance we make a snap trade for a veteran 3rd stringer in that situation like we did with Domingue this year

mouth. you can reconstruct my face but you cant reconstruct my balls.

My bad homie

He had the 2nd highest minutes on a LV team that had better defence than we did last year. Was in the 97th percentile in terms of the quality of competition he faced. Ended up +11 with 30+ points playing against the best players in the league. He wore and 'A'. Some LV fans wanted him to be their captain. You're underrating him greatly.

Anyone have any insight on what his demise has been the past few years? Seems he didnt even have that great a year when he won a cup. Did it have something to do with the style of hockey the Caps played in front of him? Is he slowing down? Will a decreased workload help him? He's only 31... Seems a bit early for him to fall off a cliff. What's the deal?

Looking at twitter, it seems this is very very unconfirmed. The thread title tag should be changed to [Rumour]. From what it looks like, its a bidding war between Calgary and Edmonton at this point.

Seeing some people on Calgary's side of twitter talking about 7 years $6M AAV?... but idk nothing official.

Ban this troll

I know it was a fake report, but still. Term and NMC... and cost of living in alberta. 1. $4.5M in AB is $5M in BC. 2. We did not want Markstrom for another 4 years. 3. We did want to give Markstrom a NMC, which would directly correlate to us losing Demko and relying on a 30+ year old goalie to carry this young core indefinitely. If it turns out to be 4x$4.5M with an NMC. I think it's a good deal for Marky, a good deal for Calgary... and a deal I'm happy we didn't sign.

Actually he JOINED in 2005... Which is kind of impressive. This guy's been here longer than a lot of the mods lol. Imo anyone with an account made 2010 or earlier should be ban immune. Gotta respect your OG's

I feel like that would actually be a fantastic contract for both sides

If this is because it came down to OEL or Toffoli... I think I like this move. We'll see.

to be fair, he's been on the edmonton oilers, nj devils, and arizona coyotes... those franchises are trash with or without him.

Likely not. I believe Benning told Barry he could seek out a trade for Loui but told him he would not be including a pick or sweetener. There was a report on this a little while back.

I like Dillon on our bottom pairing with Stecher. I think they would compliment each other perfectly actually. And both are solid defensive players who can play up in the lineup if needed. That the type of 3rd pairing you with a cup with.

What if we managed to trade Myers for him Virtanen + Rathbone + Myers + Hoglander? Is adding hoglander overpayment? Maybe Virtanen + Myers + Hoglander? Am I stupid to put Hoglander on the table?

http://www.nhlspecialteams.com/blog/2016/3/5/which-specific-zone-entry-types-are-most-successful this article talks about how while dumps and chips to lead to higher rate of zone entry, they ultimately lead to less shots on goal than drop pass entries specifically. The vast spacing between passer and receiver is intentional. Most PK's forecheck in some variation of a 1-3 formation. The idea is to force the "1" back to to blueline so that they can't direct the play. Once you have all 4 defenders backed up, the player receiving the drop pass can more easily pick their lane into the ozone.

everyone who disagrees about the drop pass is wrong

DROP PASSES ARE AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO GAIN ENTRY INTO THE ZONE WITH POSSESSION WHEN THE OTHER TEAM IS TRAPPING AT THE BLUE LINE AS ALL TEAMS DO ON THE PK ALSO WE HAD THE 4TH RANKED PP RESPECT THE DROP PASS
